***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
After clocking 10,000 entries under 24 hours, we’re already back to crown a random winner of the SINGER One sewing machine. The lucky person is… Angela (who says she’s a 1 on the sewing skills scale: “I can sew a straight line, but only if someone threads the machine for me first”). Congrats!
I’ve never touched a sewing machine in my life, but I’ve heard Sherry’s passionate muttering from the next room while using hers. Which is why anything labeled “Our easiest to use machine!” sounds compelling. And we’re so (sew?) excited that Singer is helping us give away a SINGER One – a feature-packed sewing machine that retails for nearly $500 – to one lucky reader! Something about an Automatic Needle Threader and OneTouch stitch selection sounds “approachable.” Plus the 24-available stitch patterns makes me believe you could fake your way into some pretty fancy stuff. Oh, and did we mention that Singer will ship this puppy anywhere in the world?
- PRIZE: A SINGER One sewing machine (a $499 value!)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEW ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …where do you rank yourself on the sewing skills continuum? Are you a 1 like me (I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag)? A self-proclaimed 3 like Sherry (who could probably make “a wonky bag”)? Or are you more like a 10 (who could not only sew a bag from scratch, but do so blindfolded)?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide (we always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here).
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Cara says
SEW ME! I’d say a 1.5…sewing on buttons is about my limit.
Claire says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5-6. I’ve made quilts, curtains, pillow covers with zippers. I have made dresses from patterns before but they’re definitely not perfect by any stretch.
Mary says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3 with Sherry. I’m currently borrowing a machine to make drawstring bags for Christmas presents (instead of paper), and they’re good enough to serve their purpose, but they might need some repairing before I can use them again next season…
Val says
SEW ME! I think I’m barely a 3, like Sherry, but I have taken TWO classes to no avail! The problem is that my sewing machine is a toy, but because of my lack of progress, I am reluctant to buy a better machine. So, this would basically be the best prize ever. And my house would likely fill with pillows.
Anna says
SEW ME! I would say I am a 3 but with machine I could maybe be a 7?!?!
emily says
SEW ME!
I’m a comfortable 3 — if I needed to sew, I can sew. :)
Christy says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 2, since I can do curtains but little else. My mom is a 10 (she gifts me with home-sewn winter coats and such for Christmas) so she usually ends up fixing sewing disasters for me!
Gaelle says
SEW ME!!
I think I’m a 4-5, still lots to learn. I love making things for my kids, especially Halloween costumes. This machine would be sweet!!!
Addy says
SEW ME!!
The only thing that home economics taught me is that I’m a 1-2 on that scale! I wish I was better. Maybe this will be the trick (;
Thomas G. says
SEW ME!
I’m a zero — never sewed in my life (that I can remember), but my wife wants to learn.
Liz says
Sew me! I’m a 2…I could figure it out (maybe) if it was life or death, and I’ve watched my mom use one but sewing machines are SO expensive to buy so I’ve never gotten into it.
Leah says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably like Sherry’s 3. I think I’m all that and can sew stuff, but I usually just get frustrated with threading needles and my project just comes out “okay” Haha. Def need practice.
Tiffany says
SEW ME!
And I’m definitely a 1 on the scale of sewing ability… It hurts to even think about!
Sharon says
SEW ME!!!
I’d probably be making a wonky bag… no, not probably. I’d DEFINITELY be making a wonky bag. I’m a 3!
Emily says
I’m a 9 – I sewed all my prom dresses and plan to sew my wedding dress. I have lots of ideas but don’t always execute them. and sometimes, my dresses are tweaked a little but usually i can figure it out.
Shannon says
SEW ME!
I would rank myself around a 7 or 8 in the sewing skills, I have been quilting for the last 10 years. Although I recently moved and my sewing machine didn’t make the trip so I am in the market for something new!
Annabel Vita says
SEW ME! I’m a pretty solid 3. I can sew things but they’re always wonky.
Alecia says
SEW ME!
Maybe a two? Just sewed some curtains and can put a button back on a shirt and make sure it never comes off again!
Noel M says
SEW ME! I’m a 1… or 2 maybe? I actually have a sewing machine on my Christmas list, but this one looks way better than the basic model I was hoping for!
Dawn says
SEW ME! Well, I’m a 10 on sewing skills. I’ve made everything from cushions with welt edging to wedding dresses. While I have my own machine(s), I’d love to win this one for my daughter and send her out into the world with her own equipment.
Alison says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5, but looking to get better. I have dreams of making a canvas slipcover for this hella awesome chair I have that is upholstered in gold velvet…and not a pretty kind. :)
Megan Birch says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 for sure. I think about the only thing I can do is sew a button back on. I can’t wait to learn though!
Ashley Reed says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 4, maybe a 4.5? I can follow a pattern and have sewn myself a few skirts that lasted a couple of washes in the washing machine before they fell apart.
Emily S. Davis says
SEW ME! I, like Sherry, am a self proclaimed 3 :)
Thanks for the opportunity!

Britta says
SEW ME!
I’m a 7. I can alter a pattern to fit my hips/boobs. But it takes a lot of concentration and time. I’m not project runway fast. And I have trouble sewing with certain fabrics.
Brooke says
SEW ME! I bet a new machine would up my skill level from a 3!
Marti says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m somewhere in the 4-5 range. So far, I seem to be able to sew most anything I am HIGHLY MOTIVATED to sew, thanks to google and youtube, but I have no real seamstress skills, just a lot of determination that comes in random, infrequent spurts!
Karen Potter says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4 or 5.
Emma says
SEW ME!
I am a self taught intermediate level sewer (~6)….mostly I just hack my way through and when in doubt I rip things out and watch videos on Youtube to learn how to do things.
Lizzie says
SEW ME! I love your blog and I love sewing. This would be amazing.
Lizzie says
SEW ME! I love your blog and I love sewing. I had a baby machine that just bit the dust- I think I would give myself a solid 5.
This would be amazing!!
Rachel says
SEW ME!!!
I am about a 4, gimme a pattern and I can do it no problem but some women really put my skills to shame.
Adrienne N. says
SEW ME!!!
I’m like a 1 and cant wait to learn how to sew on this machine!!! Im moving into a new house and would love to sew my own pillows and drapes!!
Bree says
SEW ME!
I’d probably put myself at a 7. My mother taught me to sew when I was little, but there is always more to learn!
Wendy says
SEW ME!
Just taught myself to sew within the last year. Went from a 1 to a 6 so far!!
karen says
sew me!! it’s been yeaaars since i sewed…so i’lll say i’m a solid TWO.
LinnOrganized says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere between the both of you, most days. But oh how I want to be better! I would love to attempt that on this here machine. :)
Andi says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 3 or a 4 at best. I just finished making a skirt for a Christmas party coming up, and I keep having visions of it falling apart in front of all my husband’s co-workers! Maybe I should wear a back-up skirt underneath :)
Melody says
SEW ME!!
I love to sew but I’m definitely not a 10.. maybe more like an 8? I would probably be on it all the time if I won :)
Liz says
Sew me! I am definitely a 1 and have been considering getting a machine.
Kady says
Sew me!!
Definitely a 1!!
Suzanne says
Sew Me!
I am probably around a 7 – I love sewing and quilting; but I know I still have so much to learn! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!!
Sarah R. says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3, but long to be at least an 8 ;)
Tiffany says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, but have aspirations to be 6/7!
Meagan says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2, but would love to learn more on my own sewing machine!
Sarah says
SEW ME! :) I’m probably a 2 or 3…but I always have to get someone to thread the needle for me.
kel says
SEW ME!
I, too, can’t rank myself very high…1 or 1.5, mostly because I am intimated by the machine. Would love to learn on one that is the “easiest to use”!
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5. I’ve played with sewing on and off most of my life (my mom is an avid quilter, and used to make outfits for my sisters and I, as well as our AG dolls!), but lately I’ve ventured into the realms of online (non printed) patterns. They’re not nearly as scary as I expected! Hopefully I’ll keep getting better!
Heather W says
SEW ME! Definitely a -1! But I would love to learn and my daughter is learning how to sew at school so, maybe she can teach me!
Mary says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3 as well, maybe a 4.
Colleen C. says
SEW ME!…I can do simple hand stitches but I can’t do anything involving a sewing machine…I really really want to learn though.
